📋 About This Mod
Adds the beautiful ancient Altmer ruins of Nalcarum by the Brena River in County Kvatch, together with a small story by the entrance.. =) This is a fairly hard dungeon, with some random numbered enemies, random loot, and a unique \"large\" end-boss with randomized equipment! Enjoy! Forum: http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=384192 NOTE: Since i have the borders disabled when i make these dungeons, i dont know if they are past the border! (since in some places the border blocks your way a long time before the actual ingame map-border is shown!) If you should run into a border when approaching my dungeon, open oblivion.ini in My Documents/My Games/Oblivion, and change enableborderregions to a 0.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an Oblivion mod from 2008, use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check the mod's file structure — if it's just an .esp, drop it into your Data folder and activate it in the launcher.
- Be prepared for a tough dungeon — bring potions and save before entering.
